    And not showing someone respect is a complete asshole thing to do. Have you ever thought about having some empathy for someone else?

    Respect is normally earned, and there are better ways to help and empathize with someone than to feed into unhealthy behavior. Just like I wouldn't bring a 12 pack into an AA meeting even though I'm sure many people there would desire it.

    I'm sorry but the only 'Master' in here is Sly who also goes by the adjective "Your Lordship". You can call him governor and almost get away with it but I'm afraid he'd drop his hobb nailed boot on your head. Best to stick with 'Master' or "Your Lordship".

    Respect is earned by being human. Unless a person acts in such a way as to no longer deserve it. Like going out of their way to disrespect others out of bigotry.

    Worship is earned by felines.

    I literally can't use their pronouns. But that is my literal thinking coming into play due to my autism. So it is, just the way it is.

    I have no problem with the emoji, other than seeing it as not needed since men can't become pregnant.

    How is it narcissistic when it's about a COMMUNITY of people?

    Just an absolutely ignorant take.

    If you want to identify as an autistic blue M&M then that person can identify as a man.

    Identifying as, and actually being, are too very different things. They can "identify" as a rubber ducky, and it still wouldn't make it so.

    But in the end. That has nothing to do with me not being able to see... what you see.

    My literal thinking won't allow me to look at a flower and call it a duck. I see a female, I call it female. It is like humans think that if one day someone decided that a ham sandwich is now called a doorstop. We should all follow this "logic".

    Edit: I identify as autistic, because I actually am autistic. Big difference.

    The logic some of these people have.

    A Trans man can look every bit as much of a man as anyone out there. So much so you wouldn't even tell that they were born a woman.

    Listen my friend, as far as I know, you've never come to any of the forum get-togethers, we've never met, all I know about you is what you've chosen to share with everyone. And we all accept what you've told us, you have autism and because of that you ask for us to understand that you might have interactions with some of us that is a little different. We accept what you've told us as your truth.

    If we can do that for you, I do think, while it might be a little harder, you can do that for others.
